The Travan backup data storage technology
With the rise of e-commerce, data repositories and other data-intensive applications, more data must be backed up and stored even more quickly. Now a days, companies related to different fields (science, medicine, broadcasting etc.) all over the world generate huge volume of data every day. Millions of people access this information every day. The government and industry regulators now insist that the organizations should preserve almost all their information, in perfect order, forever. New laws also have been implemented like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002), that requires all public corporations to preserve their email data and financial transactions. Organizations in the financial sector are required to retain every one of their emails. The government records need to be kept for between 20 and 50 years, or simply forever and the copyright records must be kept for at least 95 years.
